I have a '96 328i, 102,000 miles, with stock suspension and 15" wheels.
This is my daily driver, 70 miles/day mostly highway in the NY-NJ area.  I
have dedicated snow tires for winter use.
Any advice on changing to 16" or 17" wheels?  I'm considering 17x7 1/2".

I had my 1998 535i serviced at 114888 miles. It is now just over
118000 miles and one bar of the service panel is now out and I only
have 3 greens showing. How many miles will it be before they all go
out please?

Is it possible for the Check Engine Light to be triggered by an overdue
oil change?  For example:  diriving around with a red oil light for 3
months in the cold?  Just wondering.  And will an oil change fix the
problem and make the light go off?  Or does that sensor now have to be

Haynes apparently don't do one for the above model - are there any other

I just took my 1998 Z3 out of storage.  I notice a noise coming from the
front when I am moving slowly (< 20 km/h).  The noise is like driving over
an expansion joint on a highway.  Could this be a flat spot or something
else?

Just wondering - if someone has a later model BMW which maybe has a
broken timing belt or something major with the engine, and they're
interested in selling, please email me at: mjmalin(at)wisc(dot)edu

I'm new to BMW's, usually liek Honda/Acura and Toyota.  I've found a 97
528iwith 110,000 miles.  It looks to be in good shape and it's really sharp.
The asking price is $10,900 so I bet I could get it down to $10,000.  From
what I found looking this model up this would be a very ...

I've changed the front brake pads and the light is still on.  I will check
the rear pads and replace if needed.  However is there a reset for this or
does the sensor detect the pads are fine and the warning goes away or could
it be a bad sensor?

The gear shifter does not go into gear as smoothly as it once did.  What

One of the Sunday Times UK motoring journalists, Andrew Frankel, rated
himself not a fan of the updated BMW 7 despite the many improvements and his
love of the 3 and 5.
He still thinks that the Merc S-Class does luxury saloons/sedans the best.
